COLES POINTED REMARKS.
The Tabernacle, Filled to Over
flowing Friday Nighttime
Converts.

When it is taken into consideration
that during the first week of Major
Coles revival, there have beer 123
converts, the people of Sedalia cannot
very well say that the work has been
in vain. On Friday there were nine.
teen converts, and others evinced a
wish for prayers. The evangelists
subject Friday night was:
"sHALL NOT SUFFER LOSS"
The speaker gave an incident Of
going to a circus, which was very
interesting, as well as amusing.
"My father was preacher" said
he, "and / had wished a hundred
times that he was something else.
There was a circus coming, and ]
awoke that morning at clock. My
father had told me that | should not
60 to circus, but there lay rolling
and tumbling, and trying to devise
some plan to get to the circus. After
breakfast l took my little brother by
the hand and started for the show
grounds. We went to the entrance
and | said, Let us in sir, we are
preachers sons.
SCOT any money!" said the door
keeper.
No. said I. 'but we will carry
water for the clown
"He accepted my proposition. We
carried water all day to get into the
circus at night. Our parents knew
not of our whereabouts, and mother
was frightened, as mothers always are,
in cases of that kind. Father began
to search for us, and at last suspicion
dawned upon him that We were at the
circus. He came and stood at the
doo., and as the large crowd streamed
out from under the tent, he espied his
two little boys. He took us by the
arm, and hurried away, but not
in time, to escape the eyes of another
who was telling around
town the next day, that the professio-.
had been disgraced, that he had seen
my father coming out of the circus,
with his two sons"
"Boys, tell me, honor bright" said
the Major earnestly, "can you have a
better time, enjoying the things of
this world, than working for the Lord
Jesus Christ"
tive young ladies came to nae one
time, and wanted to know if the Lord
wouldn't save them, in twenty years
hence. They said /: we miss all the
fun They were girls, who be-
Iieved in the pleasures of this
world, instead of gainingj the smiles
Of Jesus Christ. sThis is the road
that pays" continued the evangelist, |
''this is the road that will give you
10y in this world and the world to
come. Now, | want you to know,
now many there are here tonight,
hat are serving God, and how long
hey have been serving Him."
Two-thirds of the audience arose,
,ne by one, and each related a short
and the number of years
hat they had been in the service of
heir Maker.
The meeting was one of interest
throughout, and was, perhaps, the
pest held during the week.
